You may have noticed a few changes here and there at Pop + Politics.  Some cosmetic, some added functionality.  A lot have taken place on the backend without you even noticing.

We appreciate your patience if the flow of content is not always constant as a result of the changes being made, but rest-assured, everything is being done to make the experience at P+P more engaging, speedier, and more inter-connected with all of the networking possibilities the internet has to offer.

We have migrated to a new, faster, completely green hosting service called Dreamhost.  Read more about the glorious carbon neutrality of our new host here.

We have also installed the latest Wordpress (v 2.5) which allows much more streamlined posting of music and video content.

You’ll also notice the “Share This” button at the bottom of every post.  Click on it and you will see a pop-up that will allow you to share the post on every major social networking and news sites around (Facebook, Digg, Newsvine, Reddit, StumbleUpon, MySpace…just to name a few).  It also allows easy emailing to friends directly from the site.

And lastly, we are long overdue in fixing our busted tag cloud.  It may disappear for a while and reappear in a new form, or it may go away completely.  We’re still tinkering and figuring out what will be best.  Either way, we will also be pulling in a bunch of RSS news feeds and beefing up our blogroll to make P+P more of a one-stop shop for great web content beyond the earth-shattering material we post ourselves.

Woot.  Stay tuned.
